Re: 83 firebird headlight wiring diagram
Does it feel like the motors won't go up because they are binding up inside, or that there is no power to the motor? The motors are rather complicated inside with a limit switch that is triggered in either direction when the headlights reach the end of their travel. Tension on the system causes the switch to trip. So if the motors are messed up inside that could trigger the limit switch if they are hard to move or binding in any way.
How do they move when you crank them manually? Are they smooth and move easily?
